Ingredients for Baked Salmon with Herbs

Here’s what you’ll need to prepare this delightful Baked Salmon with Herbs:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Preheat the Oven

• Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the salmon cooks evenly and retains its moisture.

Prepare the Salmon

• Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with olive oil, ensuring they’re well-coated.

Season the Salmon

• In a small bowl, mix the dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the salmon fillets.

Add Lemon Slices

• Place the lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet. The lemon not only infuses a fresh citrus flavor but also keeps the fish moist during baking.

Bake

• Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so keep an eye on them.

Garnish and Serve

• Once the salmon is done, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve your Baked Salmon with Herbs hot, and enjoy!
